My dog ate a lot of cookies. What should I do if vets are closed?

Question

My mixed lab, about 80lb ate almost 2kg of misc cookies with all kinds of ingredients, please help me, it is very late and vets are not working now and there is no emergency room for dogs in my town. I gave him 4 pills of active charcoal (it is written that 1 has 250mg of active ingredient and it's for humans I assume) would that help at least till morning? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 3 months old

Hello. I am so sorry for your worries with Joe. Unless the cookies had a lot of chocolate or raisins in them, then at most all you should see is some gastric upset from all the sugar & fats. If Joe is acting unwell, then you will need to search for an emergency clinic that can see him, even if you need to drive a distance. If he seems to be doing OK, then check with your veterinarian tomorrow for any follow-up. Best to Joe & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
